DORADO, Puerto Rico, March 05, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GSRX Industries Inc. (OTCQB: GSRX) (“GSRX” or the “Company”) announced today that, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Project 1493 LLC, the Company has completed construction of its sixth Green Spirit RX medicinal cannabis dispensary in Puerto Rico. Located in the Isla Verde District of Carolina, this is the newest location for which the Company has received pre-qualification for a dispensary license from the Department of Health of Puerto Rico. Operations at the Isla Verde location will commence following final inspection and receipt of the requisite operating permit from the DHPR.

Currently, there are five Green Spirit RX medicinal cannabis dispensaries open in Puerto Rico, with locations in Dorado, Carolina, Fajardo, Andalucia and San Juan’s Hato Rey neighborhood. The Company has additional locations currently under development/construction in Guaynabo, Bayamón and Old San Juan.

Green Spirit’s newest Green Spirit RX dispensary is located at 1060 Av. Isla Verde, Carolina, Puerto Rico 00913. Isla Verde is one of the most popular beach vacation destinations in the metro San Juan area and attracts both leisure and business travelers. It is home to some of the island’s most luxurious beachfront hotels, and Isla Verde Beach was voted the Best Urban Beach 2016 by USA Travel readers.
